it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now
#I think on another level he was sorta saying like ‘hey kiryu. you’re making it extremely clear that you don’t trust me and my intentions#and I’ve been trying to show you- over and over again- that I’d do just about anything for you and your safety#but I can’t just let my mask fall off in front of everyone- I need to keep up the unpredictable morally grey wildcard act for both my sake#AND yours. because disguising my helping you as crazy random violent outbursts and weird stalker behavior#is the only way I CAN help you. do you think it would go over well with shimano or literally anyone else if I was outright helping you out#of the kindness of my heart and fondness for you? stop being so fucking dense and look past the crazy wacky nonsense for a second and#maybe you’ll realize that all I do at the end of the day- really- is help you and put my own life and reputation on the line for you.#I am an honest guy when it comes to my real values and when I told you I wouldn’t let anyone kill you unelss it was myself- I meant it.#I’ve taken a knife and a bullet for you now. can you REALLY not see through the act yet? am I REALLY that unpredictable when you think about#it?’#that was a longer explanation than i intended but. it was difficult to put into words#I basically feel like it could be read as him implying kiryu shouldn’t backstab the people who put themselves on the line to help him#and/or pointing out that he’s never actually done kiryu dirty and has stuck to his word protecting him in the ways he can#trying to say yeah all this is a crazy act and all but when it comes down to it you Can trust me#it really makes sense when you think about it that he’d have to help kiryu/show affection towards kiryu in unpredictable convoluted ways#at that point in time because. I mean. there’s a reason he was the only person who showed up to welcome kiryu when he got out of prison#and that’s because A) he sticks to his word and his loyalty to people he cares about and B) no one else had the balls or the batshit insane#mask to wear to ward off anyone asking real questions like majima did. because ANYONE associating themselves with the supposed#patriarch-killer was a HUGE NO-NO at the time. someone important showing up for kiryu and welcoming him back outright could’ve caused#all-out warfare probably. except majima. because majima was dedicated and smart enough to use his widely-feared wildcard persona#(that everyone tended to view as incapable of having any Real agenda to worry about) to his And kiryu’s advantage#does that make sense??? I feel like it makes a lot of sense if you get it to click in your head#kazumaji#majima#kiryu#yakuza#kiwami 1#yk1#rambling

okay so. don’t crucify me. but su she and jin guangyao do actually make some pretty compelling points.
#critical class analysis of mdzs when???? when will i write it when????#but like.#like#fuck okay i love how it ends#because i love a happy ending#but i just keep thinking about how su she and ESP jin guangyao are right that… they kinda… had to do what they did#like su she has a few more blunders and he’s clearly jealous/resentful but… he’s not necessarily wrong about being looked down on in the la#for reasons he can’t really control#and jgy… where to even begin like okay he shouldn’t have done all those horrible things#but they ALL did horrible things#the difference is that jgy did not have anyone backing him if he fucked up if he wanted to live in dignity#he had to make sure his spot was secure#lxc lwj and whoever else was in the guanyin temple can judge him all they want#but except for wwx they’re all clan leaders or uncontested heirs#they have a level of wealth & security that allows them to make judgements on the actions of others#knowing that they can act basically free from lasting consequence#the only person who isn’t immune is wei wuxian but even then… he had the jiang clan in the past#which. it’s complicated. i know it’s complicated.#but he did attain a lot of privilege thru his connection with them and they did protect him as much as they reasonably could have#in the circumstances they were given#for the most part#and then in the future he has lan wangji who will literally kill anyone that comes at him#makes sure he’s warm and fed and kept entertained and away from pesky things like#responsibilities#and difficult conversations#so even tho he once knew a life like jgy’s he’s so far removed from it now#and just#sorry there’s a reason why all of this is in the tags#it’s not super clear in my head yet#but this is the start i promise i will come back to it

everrryyy time people complain about adult gojo not having a big emotional reaction to things i have to laugh because? ..,,when has that ever been smth he’s done? 😭 he isn’t the type of person to start crying/yelling and or openly expressing when something distresses him—it’s literally been a reoccurring thing that he canonically has trouble w emotions since the beginning. like. him not having a big reaction to peoples deaths isn’t “out of character” or “bad writing” it’s LITERALLY WHAT Y’ALL SHOULD EXPECT FROM HIM 😭 😭 and again, him acting colder and internalizing things is literally js how he deals with situations. he deals w them by not Letting said emotions get to him cause it could make a tense situation worse!! letting his emotions get to him was what made him so easy to seal!!! it doesn’t mean he doesn’t gaf!!
#you guys read so many fanfics that i think u have js completely forgotten how he actually is#like it’s been a thing from the beginning that it’s difficult for him to#connect to peoples emotions#that he’s flippant/cold when he shouldn’t be. that’s js how he deals w things#why would that suddenly CHANGEEE bro 😭 if anything being sealed would HEIGHTEN THAT!!!#anyways not to d ride#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#ao3#satosugu#gojo satoru#satoru gojo#meta#not a fan w the way gege chooses to write most things but his lackluster reaction nanami’s death was what i expected from him

Protecting my peace and learning to move on. Accepting the things I cannot control and taking it all as lessons. You can’t force people to change, you can’t force people to understand you, you can’t force it to work if the other side isn’t willing to put in the effort because they want to. You can’t force friendships, relationships, people to treat you right. You can’t force anyone or anything. Accepting things as they come and as they go.
If they wanted to, they would.
#also learning to be okay alone and working through some trauma alone#as I’ve noticed it effects everything in my life#I’m to blame for certain things and acknowledging that fact and trying to be better is growth#I’m not the best person by any means but I do wanna be a better one#I’m tired of my trauma that was caused by others to affect me and anyone I come close to#I’ve realized a lot of patterns and that I shouldn’t have to do things to get people to like me#to love me and to want to be around me that’s not healthy or good for me nor is it good for the other people involved#because at the end of the day if someone wants to be around you they would do so#if someone wants to talk to you hit you up be around be a good person to you etc they would do so and if they don’t then they don’t#and accepting that and learning that has been a bit difficult for me life in general has been#I’ve gone through so much in the past few years it’s absolutely exhausting and depending a lot instead of being independent#I have a lot to work on within myself as does everyone#and to the person that (knows I’m directing at him) I’m sorry and I hope we can communicate healthily sometime soon about it all#there’s a lot that needs to be said that wasn’t addressed and I’m sorry for my part#I’m learning and growing and dedicated to positive change I hope one day you see this and understand

no offence but if you don’t have siblings you shouldn’t speak on sibling relationships in media
#like shit is COMPLICATED#factors like age gender treatment from parents heavily impact sibling relationships#like there’s a massive difference between two brothers close in age and a sister and brother with a ten year age gap#and I just see so many bad takes about siblings in media from very obvious only children#ppl talk so much on louclaud cuz they haven’t experience the large age gap sister brother dynamic#which as someone who has that relationship with my older brother (im afab) louclaud reminds me sooooooooo much of our relationship#and ppl just drag their relationship through the mud cuz they just haven’t experienced the difficult intimacy between siblings#and also the expectation that siblings on screen have to always caring and loving towards their siblings for them to have a certified#‘healthy relationship’ and if theyre even a bit bitchy towards each other it’s super toxic#like it’s not a crime to not be emotionally invested in your siblings academic career#its actually super emotionally taxing and unhealthy#in analysis ppl place so much focus on the siblings rather than the literal ADULTS#THE PARENTS#THE PPL ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE#siblings shouldn’t ever be responsible for the welfare of their siblings#if the parent is present and able to take responsibility

you can really see who my favorite character is in this
#- wips#i love sonic equally .#his side profile was just a little difficult for me to draw today for some reason#i have shadow’s muzzle as more of a triangle shape and sonic’s as more of a heart shape#so from the side it’s just an oval#so it really shouldn’t be that hard#i guess the hard part was more so of the facial expression#i wanted it to be like a 3/4ths view with him looking at shadow like <_< sort of#idk i had a vision

see I am very disjointed from a lot of nine/ten fandom discourse because I genuinely believe that in a different world where space boy was not to be seen, had an older Rose gone to the hospital and bumped into a certain Doctor Jones by a vending machine or as she was taking Rose’s vitals, she would have instantly hit it off with Martha. and probably flirted with her a little on accident and then on purpose when Martha flirted back
#I can see Martha raising an eyebrow as she catches Rose (who definitely snuck out despite being on bedrest) by the vending machine#Rose probably snuck out of bed because the girl in the bed next to her was crying and she wanted to make her feel better#because she doesn’t really like hospitals either#and when she tells Martha this she’s surprised when the Doctor (who seems quite strong and a little serious) suddenly smiles#and shows her a trick to get extra sweets and chocolate out of the machine#and then tells her to hurry because the check-in sweep of Rose’s ward is about to begin#you just KNOW Rose would be Martha’s most combative patient but in all the best ways#always asking what that machine does. what that incomprehensible doctor scrawl means. if there’s something she can do to help other patients#and Martha loves it. loves how much Rose cares just like her. they gossip and they chat about their daily lives. they get closer#everytime Martha has to scold Rose for sneaking out of bed or doing something she shouldn’t#(even though she secretly adores it. she’s never really mad she just wants Rose to take care of herself as well as other people)#she sighs and says (in her most firm but still fond tone) ‘Miss Tyler-’#only to be struck in the heart again with a cheeky grin and a ‘yes Doctor Jones?’#and also Rose loves that Martha is a doctor. that Martha cares. that she works overtime. that almost all Martha’s patients love her#and the ones that don’t just aren’t kind people anyway. that Martha doesn’t condescend. that Martha cares and cares and cares#that Martha likes all the things about Rose that other people think make her difficult and trouble and too much#she likes the things that other people don’t like in Martha either. thinks she’s magic.#Rose Tyler is always going to love her Doctor. and Martha Jones will always love somebody who thinks everybody matters#I’m like. obsessed with them?? move OVER space boy (actually nine can get involved in this. lmao ten stay away)#they’d have been so cuteeeee#rtd failed to see the lesbionic possibility but I am no such coward. no fighting over boys here#martha jones#rose tyler#dw#doctor who

It is so funny how easily NS accepts an idea of not 'being a person' (and it is not like Waves treated him as one) meanwhile Wayback has achieved enlightenment and so WB knows it doesn't matter.
it is true that while wayback wasn’t exactly treated the nicest either, he still had a lot of friends among his creators! they liked spending time with him, talking and just having fun. you tend to feel less like a Tool when there’s people out there who treat you human! plus wayback’s just kind of…built himself from the ground up, i guess? he knows his worth and he’s (mostly) learned not to take shit from people. he’s got a creative hobby that he himself chose. he personally knows he is a person, and to him his opinion is the only one that matters in that regard.
with sep it’s different. like you said, it’s not like waves ever treated them as one. but it’s also not like they ever found any friends in their creators. you might have noticed this but sep’s not…Exactly the most friendly. or social. it was rare for their citizens to speak to them outside the topic of their purpose/work/etc. and unlike wayback, they weren’t Allowed to have hobbies. especially not creative. there wasn’t any way for them to express themself anymore, any way for them to show how they personally see the world. that generally tends to make you feel Less of a person, when you’re not allowed to show your individuality. so yeah, to sep, “iterators aren’t real people” sounds pretty damn plausible, even if he’d rather it wasn’t
#and when i say he’d rather it wasn’t i mean it …..#everytime he tries to talk about himself as being just a machine or outside being a person it’s. clearly difficult for him#it’s not something he believes 100% because a stubborn part of him knows it’s *wrong*#and maybe another part of him Would like to not be a person. get rid of all those stupid feelings and conflicting thoughts and#personal needs and whatever else. but he knows that’s not how this works because he Knows what iterators Are#so when he hears wayback’s thoughts on the topic he can’t help but just kind of… stare. because sep always thought it was something akin to#a taboo. admitting that iterators are alive and that they’re people. that even though is so obvious it still shouldn’t be brought up#but wayback Does bring it up because he’s free and enlightened like u said. his third eye is opened#and sep can’t help but just be like …Oh. i didn’t know there was someone out there#who would argue for my humanity .#cramswering

did we all just forget about grimoire of souls or what?
#gonna rant in the tags for a second#was GoS a gacha game that was limited to Apple Arcade? yes! was this also Harmony of Despair 2? also yeah…#but i do think it was good for what it was#we got some character interactions and pretty good gameplay. individual characters themselves were really good too#AND ALSO THE MUSIC BANGED!!!!!! THE INTRO MUSIC WAS SO!!!!!! GOOD!!!!!#i know it’s very difficult to come to terms with the fact that konami is pretty much done with castlevania but ->#a lot of people shouldn’t doom post and forget that this game is still playable and all of its cutscenes are on youtube#i do think konami should follow what megaman XDive did and make an offline version that’s available for consoles. just for preservation…

me venting about specific aspect of game designs. Also I choose violence towards a particular part of ‘elitist gamers’.
How to explain to game designers and gamers that making fun of people for picking the ‘easy mode’ for a video game, is fucking shitty and elitist as fuck.
Especially how they completely forget any fucking nuance of ‘hey maybe this person is playing a game in a genre that they are unfamiliar with and want to play on a easier difficultly setting for their first playthrough to familiarise themselves with the gameplay and its mechanics.’ Maybe they even want to experience a narrative FIRST, over say a frustrating time with the game, like are you seriously going to point and laugh at someone for wanting to experience something new?
Like dude I cannot stress how these kinds of elitist assholes are the same ones who ACTIVELY MAKE IT INTIMIDATING for people who WANT to get into a specific piece of media that intrigues them, and by extension YOU ARE SCARING AWAY A POTENTIAL FAN WHO COULD LEGITIMATELY VIBE WITH THE GAME AND ITS WIDER COMMUNITY FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.
Like seriously how dare people want a new experience, so let’s ACTIVELY make fun of them for NOT ‘getting good’!! /sarcasm
#about shin megami tensei 4#Came across a post about it making fun of a h games journalist who made an article documenting their experience#with the game and they found it challenging that they put it on easy mode#and like look I get it SMT is supposed to be challenging HOWEVER. That shouldn’t fucking gatekeep people from giving it a#legitimately try and wanting to experience something different.#and so in that post people make fun of the journalist in the tags and it’s like. YOU ARE THE ASSHOLES WHO SCARE POTENTIAL FANS FUCK YOU#I think what makes this particularly worse is that apparently SMT4 MAKES FUN OF YOU FOR PICKING EASY MODE#wow what a way to turn me off from a game guess I’m uninstalling it and reinstalling DOA Dimensions now /hjks#<- though legitimately that DOES TURN ME OFF#shallow rambles#shallow vents#hi. Have people ever heard of nuance in game design and game experiences??? Apparently not!!! /sarcasm#hm. Thinking about that soulsbourne video critiquing the whole ‘gif gud’ mantra#like at least soulsbourne is hard but doesn’t MAKE FUN OF YOU FOR BEING BAD AT THE GAME. Like it’s as if it WANTS YOU TO GET BETTER AT#THE GAME!!!! That’s NUANCED GAME DESIGN THAT DOESNT COMPROMISE ITSELF!!#idc if the games journalist is bad at games. If you act like this towards casual gamers who WANT to experience something difficult#Then I think you’re NOT FUN AT PARTIES AND I DONT WANT TO EVEN INTERACT WITH YOU#basically why do we have to punish and make fun of people for not being ‘good at video games’ especially those who WANT to try something#different. If anything we should be applauding that fact. NOT PUNCHING DOWN.#there’s also something slightly ableist about it because it implies everyone SHOULD pick up on details immediately but not#everyone’s brains work like that. some people have short term memory issues or have a hard time ‘reading patterns’ etc.#Waking up and choosing violence this morning

I wonder why my brain is so fankid-focused, even when dealing with Transformers (I don’t say it out loud as much as I think it, but it is)
But then I remember, I spent over a year and a half making 100+ fankid requests for Cookie Run, and technically speaking I never stopped, I just have kind of forgotten about continuing them, particularly with my new Transformers fixation (though that’s not necessarily an invitation for new ones, since I feel like it’ll be even slower than the snail’s pace it already is at this point, and that’s assuming I don’t just stop at some point. Just an FYI)
Like at that point, I feel like this sort of mindset makes complete sense. Yeah I did other stuff during that time, but you probably don’t do all that and not have a brain oddly centered on this sort of thing, especially when it’s another series where there’s no clear answer to where children come from (though in Transformers’ case that’s because they don’t have children, even if it is a widely fanon concept. But my point still stands)
#hmm maybe I just need to properly make some to get this out of my system#and not be stuck in this state of not knowing whether it’s weird or not#because like at this point I kind of want to#but I’m also still stuck in the issue of not knowing how to make Transformers OCs in general#it’s a lot more difficult than Cookie Run since you have to be able to draw robots#and also you got to pick out alt modes which means you probably need at least some vehicle knowledge#which I don’t#I might be able to draw heads but it’s not gonna get much better than that for now#so another thing holding me back from doing so#but yeah random observation I just had#I really shouldn’t find it as weird as I do#especially since it was my bread and butter for a good long while here#I should probably go to sleep soon#fankid#fanchild#random stuff

I think that from now on all tumblr users should be forced to answer a two-question quiz before being allowed to express any opinion about AI:
1. What is AI?
2. What separates a ‘good’ tool from an ‘evil’ tool?
#idk I just have so many thoughts on the ethics and complications of AI#but there’s no one to discuss it with who hasn’t just gotten all of their opinions from#‘omg AI is horrible kys if you’re at all positive to AI’ post nr 7891#people tend to confuse AI in general with generative AI#which makes a lot of convos difficult#+there’s generally very little understanding of how it all works?#(also something something people can’t make their minds up whether AI is this horrible thing that’ll one day replace all art and literature#or if it’s this weak shitty toaster that ‘shouldn’t even be called ai it doesn’t create anything original and it’s so stupid’)#is this the part where I tell y’all to listen to Hard Fork#?#maria talks about things#artificial intelligence
